MidWeek Tease: Chasing High Noon: Let's Meet Mom!

I'm back and I've got a MidWeekTease for everyone. A little late (had internet connections issues) but it's here!

For your pleasure, a snippet from the latest story in the Star Crossed Series, Chasing High Noon. Let's see how Malcolm meets Meredith's mom! Enjoy and make sure to hop over to the other great blogs.

Snippet:

The first one Malcolm recognized was Meredith’s mom, Beverly Blackburn. The woman was dressed in a flowy, navy blue pant suit and giving him a murderous look. Behind her stood two others, an older woman and a rather bored-looking man. 

“Ms. Blackburn, it’s good to see you again,” Malcolm said before opening the door a little wider. He wished he could give Meredith more warning about her mother being there, but standing there in nothing but a pair of sleep pants he knew that was the best she was going to get.

****

Shock struck Meredith like a ton of bricks when she heard Malcolm greet the person at the door. To her credit, she managed not to spew her mouthful of coffee, but her mind quickly started ticking off all the reasons she didn't need her mother barging in. One, it was still pretty early, and two, she had been told everyone was too busy to help with the Lunar Shadow ritual prep work. 

If they were too busy to help, they should be too busy to check up on her. There was already a meeting set up that afternoon. Her mother could have and would normally have waited until then to see her. 

Collecting herself, Meredith sat her coffee down and walked over to the door. She watched Malcolm give her a thoughtful glance and pull the door open to let her mom enter. He was reason number three. Standing shirtless in her living room, he was more than welcome. In fact, she loved having him there, particularly half-naked. Her mother, on the other hand, would have a different opinion.

That's your tease for this week! You can find out more about Chasing High Noon or buy a copy on Amazon. It and the other Star Crossed books are available in both print and digital.

Oh So Busy

So, I didn't get to posting up the day when Chasing High Noon was released. My bad. Things have been beyond hectic. I had a book signing at a local book store, the Book Smith, on release day and I have a second signing this weekend. Getting ready for those was killer, but I was also pushing through some new marketing ideas.

That combined with family, I missed not only the new release post, but also the Full Moon New Releases again...

On with the show. Here is the all important information on Chasing High Noon and the links!

Overworked, Meredith Blackburn is on a deadline. Restoring the Dragon’s Eye, a family relic that connects them to their magical roots, has turned into a trial by fire. With her family breathing down her neck, the Lunar Shadow can’t come soon enough.

Malcolm Blackwood is sure Meredith is still there somewhere, but with a new attendant and family pressure, she’s just too wrapped up to notice that things are wrong. Warned about forbidden magic and desperate to support his lover, he’s tiptoeing through a mine field.

Will the Blackburns be satisfied? Or will Meredith be cast out?

2019 Goals

It's 2019. Last year flew by and all I can say is this: It was surprisingly normal. It really wasn't a challenging year for me. Some great stuff happened in 2018. The Saving Grace Saga went to print. Caught by Nightfall was released. There were a few new story ideas and a few that ended up repurposed.

But now it the time when I start trying to plan out the next 365 days. Sometimes these plans work out, but more often than not they get jumbled around as the weeks ramble on.

So on with the goal setting!

This blog along with my social media will not go ignored. I've said it before and deserve your scoff of disbelief, but I'm going to try. Promise.

On to the Projects:

First up is completing the Star Crossed Series. This won't be too hard. The first drafts are finished and the third story, Chasing High Noon, is scheduled to come out in just over a month. That just leaves two stories! Both are really rough drafts at the moment, but I'm confident they'll be polished and ready for release in June and at the beginning of 2020.

There's only one other project on my mind for the coming year, but its a BIG one. Before Meredith and Malcolm hijacked my pen this series was sitting center stage. Right now I can only call it the Three Realms Stories, but its a six book series. two of the novels are complete drafts and half of the third is written. There are three more waiting their turn.

Each story has a different set of characters. While all the stories do take place in the same universe there are three different realms, as the name implies. Each realm has a different set of solid rules and laws. I've been taking notes and working on these stories for several years and I'm ready to get back to them full time.

Midnight Flames, an interactive story, is sitting on the back burner and may steal a little of my time this year, but there's no way it's getting completed unless it hijacks my pen.

Those are pretty much my goals. Polish and prepare for publishing the last of the Star Crossed Stories. Complete the Three Realms Stories and start polishing them along the way. Let Midnight Flames have a little attention here and there.

That's not too tight a plan but not so loose I get lost in my own creative madness.

May 2019 be an awesome year for you!

Peace and Love

Darkwater by Katherine Rhodes

The water called her name.

Maybe it always had, but it was only when Betsy Tillman slipped into Pine Valley that she could hear it. She wanted to find out why. But Wayne, her boyfriend and partner in crime, wanted to stick to the plan: smash and grab and get the hell out. Money from that was a sure thing, why change it up? Robbery and larceny was her whole life, and she was good at it.

The water was too strong.
Betsy was too tired to resist.

What she discovered in Darkwater was nothing like she had ever seen before. What she found also found her, also needed her. It pulled her in and gave her a way out.

She found her escape.
She found a dragon, named Niko.

He was her answer.

All she needed to do was change everything.


Released Nov. 13th
